easter-eggs

[lyric stratus]

circut maze

In the sea of memories, the original fragments are floating around

what?

dread, comments?

im assuming this has already been found

[fading vigil]

Solution to hot gossip? No, it wasn’t(

[lyric stratus]

i meant the translation i did

[signal sorrel]

Why is everyone talking about the leaks as if the leaks is all there is?

[lyric stratus]

i dunno

[fading vigil]

Oh, it is yes.. I jumped in hot gossip thread and my thoughts was about it sorry

[lyric stratus]

im just tryna see what I can translate

even with google lense being super picky of camera angle

[signal sorrel]

About the hot gossip thing, do we even know what kind of solution we're looking for? Is it connected to anything else?

[lyric stratus]

The PHYSICAL ENGINE theory

Overtime, the game engine that THE FINALS canonically runs on has some sort of immersion-based ruleset that the developers of normal maps must follow for the engine to run the game.

For example: durring events when music was played beside objects, there was always a boom box beside the tree when it needed sound. AKA, an origin item.

Same thing with suspended platforms, everything had an origin item for structural support. like the rungs and suspended cables.

Furthermore, as a new discovery, there is a building in the backround of SEOUL that has the name VEIN. aka, Virtual entity intelligence network, as some sort of intruding plugin provided by the S10 teaser transcript. This makes us believe that parts of the system inside THE FINALS's engine requires it to have a physically virtual counterpart, in one way or another.
I did a thing

[stiff tree]

whats the latest

[fading vigil]

In Seoul, power shift starts in the VEIN building)

[lyric stratus]

Hmmmmmm

[fading vigil]

Literally, the “main” building has VEIN sign on the back. There is one of the white rabbits, iirc

[vagrant mauve]

"physically virtual" hmm yes I love dry water

😂

[lyric stratus]

Man I'm tired Kay? I didn't know how to explain the maps n stuff

[surreal sinew]

where did u get that

[snow walrus]

sounds like CNS narrative to me

[faint rivet]

hey peeps. what was the alfa acta countdown thing??

[velvet narwhal]

the crossbow leak

[regal flower]

Self repeating crossbow

I hope the mag is on the top not the bottom

[lyric vale]

Like the P90?

[surreal sinew]

i mean assuming its a compound crossbow it will most likley feed from the bottom since gravity wont be fast enough to feed bolts att that speed assuming it shoots that fast so it would need a spring and atp just doing bottom feed to get the benefits of easier reloading and usable sights

[opal pond]

I hope it looks like this

[surreal sinew]

so kinda like a chukonu (probably butcherd the spelling) my guess its it wont my guess is it will be something like a bottom feed but might be top feed but with 9 bolts (minimum cus thats how many where shot in the teaser) it would be a pretty tall magazine

(unless they use minibolts or severaly wide stack but thats odd)

[opal pond]

Yeah it’s probably a modern bow.

[surreal sinew]

oh and heres a good idea of what i meant here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbKGjRoSofA&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.offgridweb.com%2F

[opal pond]

But an old one would be pretty funny

[velvet narwhal]

It actually isn't a crossbow it's just the heavy throwing the bolts like darts

[surreal sinew]

yeah it would XD

[surreal sinew]

so true XD

[fresh quiver]

wait until its a blowpipe and not a crossbow xD

[surreal sinew]

imagine lol but whos blowing it that fast without it being powerd by compressed air plus it would be so wierd to make cus u need to close the pipe inbettween each shot for the power we see there (god i should shut up this is clearly a joke )

[regal flower]

I know but would be cool though

[surreal sinew]

ye it would

[regal flower]

We have this in the UK

[eager gale]

This is very similar to what we r getting btw

[surreal sinew]

Bro no spoilers shush

[surreal sinew]

Ye Ik that one (from blumineks channel) it folds in half to reload but it’s not automatic it’s just really easy to draw back

[sharp flame]

Has anyone looked into Alfa Acta deeply yet?

Apart from the fact that they sell defense products, they have a strong focus on "odds", predicting outcomes

their Home Defense product has odds of 1:1500
their Geo-Fence System product has odds of 1:75

the stronger the product the higher the odds. Nuke has 900,000:1

[frozen oxide]

Junior McJohnson knows his maths

[surreal sinew]

Maybe kills per unit or millions of dollars so a nuke would be 900000 million

[sharp flame]

I honestly think it's a "odds of victory" thing, as simple as

[surreal sinew]

Yeah would make sense with a nuke lol

[sharp flame]

BUT the interesting bit came in the latest lore video, when it looks like the MultiCo THEFINALS.exe runs an ALFA ACTA NETWORK, and then had a ACTA tab open

so I think they must have some proprietary "odds algorithm" which can actually calculate odds in real time

[surreal sinew]

Huh interesting

[fast moss]

this is there for a long time right? 🤣

[full plinth]

yup

[agile wren]

'from ob

[polar gazelle]

Sadly I believe accidentally came across a leak for S10 on Instagram. I Immediately blocked the guy so I don't get Videos from him again, but he was talking like he was so proud to share to everyone these leaks.(he literally had in all caps Finals LEAK at the top of his video) the video immediately showed leaked content instead of giving people a chance to scroll away! It really suck that people generally think it is okay to be spoiling Embarks hard work and Embark tries so hard to keep it vague as to keep excitement for S10.

If you have finals related social media I suggest that you stay way until the new season drops!

[tired shore]

I still can't get over the fact that after finally figuring out the easter egg, they literally just made THAT the teaser of the day. So we got NO extra info lmfao

[wraith karma]

Still a fun puzzle although it got figured out incredibly fast

[charred pasture]

New teaser out, anyone able to analyze it? I cant rn

[ruby nymph]

looks like a tease for a new map

[knotty hound]

feels like rupture from bf1

[charred pasture]

ROCK AND STO-

[charred pasture]

Going off this, this is probably a stretch

but after WW1 poppies gained a pretty significant meaning

Thats a field of poppies in the teaser, right?

[vague gull]

Anybody checked the path from the teaser agains ingame footage from BFH fortress frenzy?

Or maybe eaven the poppies

[harsh violet]

This was just a reference used as a clue haha, but the puzzle is over!

[charred pasture]

“**A peaceful meadow... for now **”

ok that makes me think of war connotations yeah

[vague gull]

😔its a nice map a remake would have been fire

[ruby nymph]

who would alfa acta be at war with

i mean they are the war sponsor so it makes sense they'd take some fights

[charred pasture]

CNS? Maybe Vaiiya?

[ruby nymph]

hoping for more cns stuff

[lean holly]

Maybe IVADA?

[amber ferry]

i hope for more CNS

[lean holly]

iirc Ivada had a Knight set as real-money bundle
And AA's mace ad suggest we might get one

[lean holly]

same
CNS has been real quiet since S7
We don't even have end credit EE for S9

[amber ferry]

did anyone solve the Nama token ester egg?
i never seen someone fully solve it

[charred pasture]

Im thinking of the poppies in the teaser and their connection to WW1

WW1 was termed “the war to end all wars” and created a fundamental shift in how warfare was conducted

[toxic hazel]

It’s War of the Roses (despite being so low poly they look like poppies, both CMs tried to but it with it), Order of the Red rose vs Order of the White rose

[south mulch]

Don't often talk in group discussions, but has anyone else noticed the candle like flame leaving frame at the end of the new teaser at the bottom?

[charred pasture]

Are there white roses in the teaser?

[charred pasture]

My data is hot ass rn so i cant load the full video

[charred pasture]

i forget, are those medieval or renaissance era?

the two orders i mean

[toxic hazel]

Super medieval. It’s a bit of a scuffle over a branch of religion making English Catholicism separate and against Normal Christianity, specifically around the Magna Carta. Reds were Brits & Conquered peoples with German mercs, Whites were German/Frank/Italian, some Spaniards but seemingly too far in between.

[charred pasture]

Got it

Those still kind of look like poppies to me, the petals seem to curve outward, arent rose petals more curved inwards

[toxic hazel]

Yep

[charred pasture]

While the roses would be more fitting to the theme of the next season, i think those are poppies

Poppies also had connotations before WWI

Sleep, Peace, and Death

Also resurrection iirc

[charred pasture]

Okay yeah i saw that too

The flowers also look a lot like Papaver rhoeas

So i think the teaser has something to do with remembrance

This teaser could also just have no fucking connotations and we could be just overanalyzing it for a hidden meaning it doesnt have

[dawn coral]

dude hasn't seen his family since the finals came out

[cyan mulch]

Anyone else think the new video: https://youtube.com/shorts/T_pLooPcwf4?si=ADn2vPbqHeOG1hti
as related to the roses in the training range?

[lyric stratus]

I made it

[surreal sinew]

I see

[charred pasture]

Im not sure

Given there was also a candle at the end, it made me think they are more related to the concept of remembrance or something

Also those are poppies, not roses

[lyric stratus]

I'd be down to go into a priv match and look around

[dull meadow]

fire arrows maybe?

[lyric stratus]

Record as much as we can

[past karma]

Sorry, which map are we talking about?

[lyric stratus]

Idk, generally the ones with ALFA ACTA on it

Everything is pointing a neon sign to AA

[sharp flame]

I personally had a good look around Las Vegas Stadium with @white patrol and all I could notice were the "odds" they have on each product

[lyric stratus]

Hmm

Valyria was sponsored by AA in rising stars

Iirc was S8? S7

I don't remember what but the name was linked to something

[white patrol]

S6 :3

[lyric stratus]

Right

[sonic rock]

So V.E.I.N was mentioned in that teaser recently, which is also the name of one of the buildings on Seoul, the heavily Iseul-t focused map. And with Iseul-t being confirmed as the season's other sponsor, I wonder if this is something they'll explore more throughout the season

[lyric stratus]

Ps, I recommend you all look at @sharp flame 's version of the S10 teaser transcript. Something was going on, involving VEIN and something else causing the AI to "divert" from its normal actions.

[sonic rock]

(bottom left as source for Iseul-t btw)

[lyric stratus]

#1484658865323901088 link to doc at top btw.

[white patrol]

wait... no new sponsors this season?

[lyric stratus]

[dull marsh]

not the first time

[white patrol]

S9 was last time right ludo?

[lyric stratus]

That was V x CNS

[white patrol]

CNS was "new sponsor" that was S7

[lyric stratus]

Ok my brain is lost

Need caffeine addiction to be satisfied

[sharp flame]

true but ngl the Sponsor system is so bloated already

I can't catch up with all the sponsorships

[white patrol]

that's true fishy, I guess I just want to see other sponsor's lore background n stuff :3c

[sharp flame]

yeah. personally, I hope we don't have wait until S11 for the next bits of lore

[cyan mulch]

Season 2💀

[sharp flame]

speaking strictly about Sponsorship and progression, S2 CNS had Circuit rewards, which was what Sponsorships took over.

[dusty ivy]

it can't be worse than s8 🙏

[cyan mulch]

Oh I must have mis read. Mb @white patrol

[fast moss]

those poppies look like normandy

[fading vigil]

Did someone compared our achieved leak and official teaser?

[solar pier]

lore has been so stale lately

[sharp flame]

tbf this latest lore video was by far the most important one we've seen yet

but tbf you need to overanalyze it a bit to reach that conclusion

It basically told us the most about the gameshow, and how it runs

[solar pier]

Ah

But still, I feel like it got really good from season 2-3 and then has been almost stagnant from 4 onwards. We get a lot of buildup with no payoff

Now we're getting some good stuff it seems

[sharp flame]

S7 was big as well, tbf, it's like short bursts of lore over time

[fading vigil]

What if CNS is the finals AI itself? Trying to stop never ending violence, because it isn’t what it meant to be?

Seek the truth beyond the walls: do not play by sponsors rules?!

[surreal sinew]

we got scotty lore

[dull marsh]

we got McJohnson lore-ish?

[lyric stratus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/959659611475042335/1445034628976214106/togif.gif

ima start doing more translations

[maiden matrix]

Those who can't do, narrate?

[lyric stratus]

wdym

[maiden matrix]

Just paraphrasing a saying, since we agree that Scotty is not that good as a contestant lol

[lyric stratus]

ohhhhhhhhh okay now i get you that does seem true that he became the narrator because he was good at being the "vibe" guy.

I had to fix some of my old stuff

But I still dont understand what this is supposed to mean

more CNS notes? sure does feel like it.

@white patrol ?

[regal flower]

I think @lyric stratus it’s time for bed for you bud. Looks like you about to blow up

The amount of information you have made it amazing but I do hope your all good

[lyric stratus]

No....

the board needs to grow

[regal flower]

Ok let’s put the mouse down and maybe have a cuppa tea

[lyric stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/indiana-jones-unsure-thinking-let-me-think-should-i-get-this-one-gif-16685505

[fading vigil]

I see some obsession and madness growth:)
good

[regal flower]

… let’s not encourage insanity

[fading vigil]

We are insanity:)

[lyric stratus]

:3c

[regal flower]

I kinda hate how true that is

[lyric stratus]

THE LORE NEEDS TO BE FOUND

FIND THE EGGS

[regal flower]

Yes but if we burn out it will take longer

[lyric stratus]

[regal flower]

So get a cuppa of something white monster or tea just have a break between hunting

[lyric stratus]

HELLLLLL YEAH WHITE MONSTA

or gfuel

oh wait i have some here

[regal flower]

[white patrol]

@white patrol ?

[lyric stratus]

i think CNS do be talking to us again

[white patrol]

the phrases are everywhere on nozomi, I do have a theory tho but I don't want to be ignorance or just sounding crazy

[regal flower]

don't worry i think t342 got crazy covered

[lyric stratus]

My friend Alex met me at Bible camp and kept saying "you are so much worse in person" then in discord

[regal flower]

ok soooo bible camp made it worse??

[lyric stratus]

I am a nightmare of incarnate intrusive thoughts

Anyways can I inject dopamine into my arm

[regal flower]

soo EE hunting is a calming thing for the mad hatter here then

[lyric stratus]

[regal flower]

well remember to take breaks

we are all here to help

[lyric stratus]

Imagine having a medically induced lack of EE hunting

[regal flower]

how about you dip into the roses

Also did I mention I sent 19k messages in this server alone last year?

[regal flower]

.... ok im going to bed T342 have fun

[lyric stratus]

Happy lore dreaming

[regal flower]

i have a feeling you dream of floppy disks

[lyric stratus]

I have some in my room here

I use one as a coaster

[charred pasture]

Tech deck it

[lean holly]

Guys
I think the new season will be called "The New Era"

It's the phrase mentioned in a promotional email for S10 reveal

[glass flint]

hey, so why in the Razer S-Team bundle poster item does it say "Back for the Final cashout"? this isn't the last season right??

[umbral arch]

I believe its in regards to Razer being a part of Scottys trio (as seen in spray) and with Scotty being a host now that trio is disbanded

[lean holly]

I think that was for lore reason
S-Team were about to retired like Omnertia said

[glass flint]

ohhhhh got it! thank you both! : )) phew i was worried lol

[surreal sinew]

I sensed my name

[surreal sinew]

I also have some but I shouldn’t have this much old tech for being my age I love old tech and preserving stuff XD my favorite part I have is a dell Inspiron 8200 chonker of a laptop

[lyric stratus]

Cheers to spending an irrational amount of money on old tech

Something I plan on doing to tank my credit score

[surreal sinew]

Actually don’t spend any all of this is stuff I looted from schools the dump and looting my dead grandmas house 💀

[lyric stratus]

Damn that's lucky tbf

[surreal sinew]

yeah sad part is allot of it doesnt work or i dont have the bits to make it work like pci mobo or agp mobo but i have expansion cards for pci and i have a s3 virge gx2 agp slot gpu that i got from the school but idk if it even works

[surreal sinew]

(we should probably take this to off topic)

[cerulean latch]

Bless all the hunters for their work, we've got a lot of freebies thanks to yall

[full plinth]

hmmmm

[wraith karma]

Looks like the Fortnite zero point lmao

[surreal sinew]

what

[frozen idol]

looks like vanish bomb to me

also looks like a city in there

[eternal crypt]

looks like a lot of lights on one tower maybe they could be like choppers?? but it def is a city.

[signal sorrel]

He did the same hand motion when it showed too

[ashen hill]

What if it’s the orb from the march 22 teaser

[signal sorrel]

Have any of the abilities that have that "cyber glitch" aesthetic like antigrav, demat, etc ever been introduced in a non-CNS season?

[ashen hill]

Yes, season 5

Gravity Vortex

[signal sorrel]

Cool, saves me a rabbit hole to go down

Tinfoil hat theory: that hand is whatever the VEIN thing we saw getting uploaded by Alfa acta, longshot money on Junior uploading his dad's consciousness ("He did always like doing things his way")

[crisp eagle]

Might be that orb gadget thing we saw slam into the cashout the other day. Maybe that’s how we toss it

[maiden matrix]

Unlikely that we're talking about another map here... so maybe this is Seoul at night? Maybe a new in game event?

[ruby nymph]

guys i had an epiphany

[surreal sinew]

maybe reflection

[surreal sinew]

maybe

[ruby nymph]

when he reaches his hand and the computer shows someone grabbing the orb with something in it (maybe the game itself + new map?), what if it's a metaphor for the creators of the finals being the literal bad guys

[surreal sinew]

wut

[frank ruin]

Mop it up then, we don't want that staining thr carpet.

[night fulcrum]

Reminds me a bit of the Iseult Absurde video

[ruby nymph]

like WE are literally trapped in the finals. they have us in the palm of their hand

[flat lynx]

Am I the only one that see a citiy in that orb ?

[ruby nymph]

i do too. looks like new york map

[flat lynx]

Ye exactly

But with some spotlights

[maiden matrix]

Sooo.... Embark is Multico?

[ruby nymph]

that's my theory now

[maiden matrix]

I'm not deep in EE lore, but it's not a bad theory...

[crisp eagle]

You’re right. That’s a dang arena with the lights pointing down on it

[fading vigil]

Seoul map

[ruby nymph]

what if it's just lore related

[fading vigil]

Angled glass roof building on the right, under construction one is the highest

[ruby nymph]

let's not forget the flowers they showed which is probably part of the new map

[ruby nymph]

didn't look like this

[crisp eagle]

What didn’t look like this?

[toxic hazel]

Feels like Seoul

[ruby nymph]

didnt look like the place with the flowers from the teaser for the new map

probably just seoul or something lore related

[crisp eagle]

Oh, yea. I never said it was the new map. I said it’s an arena with lights.

[surreal sinew]

yeah its probably just meant to be general the finals

i dont think they hiding stuff there (but who knows)

[maiden matrix]

Glad you guys agree

[crisp eagle]

I still think the new one will be medieval themed as an extra little hint from our recent hunt. Busy it could just be wishful thinking, too haha

[surreal sinew]

i think it will be really good for the community if it is

BRO

ffs man

[maiden matrix]

i got spoiled against my will... I can say that this orb from the video has nothing to do with a "new map"

[surreal sinew]

ffs....

[frozen oxide]

Embark is cns

[lyric stratus]

wait, what?

[surreal sinew]

embark is everything

[frozen oxide]

Breaking the mold of monotonous corporate gaming development (ie DICE EA days) and Embarking on fun gameplay experiences from the old simpler times

[lyric stratus]

OH

Embark devs: Ex DICE.
multico? Big corp company.
CNS: suspected to be former multico employees working on THE FINALS.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

didnt CNS quote they were taking back what was theirs?

[frozen oxide]

Which is why CNS has the 80s vibe that’s when the devs grew up playing games

[lyric stratus]

the tree video, iirc was THE DEVIDE's vid

[frozen oxide]

At least Rob and Patrick are about that age

[lyric stratus]

reminder: 1982 is the year the PET was discontinued, and it was suspected that the PET is the computer ROB grew up with

1982 is also the introduction of the PS/2 mouse port

oddly enough

[frozen oxide]

Aren’t they both charms in game

[lyric stratus]

yes the mouse. holdup

Dont worry, ive already dug into it

OH WAIT THE KEYBOARD IN KEYED UP MIGHT BE THE BACKROUND

that keyboard is an IBM model M

[maiden matrix]

And The Finals is basically Battlefield Heroes 2

[lyric stratus]

NOTE: I THINK THE KEYBOARD IN THE KEYED UP EMOTE MIGHT BE A IBM MODEL M.

it does not look exactly like the keyboard in the game (no ten-key), but still, it looks really really close

also its growing like cancer

[frozen oxide]

When point break first released I had a moment on SYS$HORIZON where I was like damn this really feels like bad company 3

[lyric stratus]

(they are EX DICE after all)

[frozen oxide]

Ye

The animations, specifically gun models and reloads are so similar to bad company it’s crazy

[lyric stratus]

the animation team followed them

[silk merlin]

ARE WE READY FOR TOMORROW?! easter eggs, lore, content, and everything in between! I better see you guys around to discuss everything

[surreal sinew]

WOOOOOOOO

[regal flower]

What don’t you have

[lyric stratus]

Money

[regal flower]

I feel you might be able to print some

[lyric stratus]

[full plinth]

Nah the ytb algorithm spoiled me the keyart of season 10 :(

Oop wrong chat, but still sad

[regal flower]

All good Cap someone broke a rule showing it in here

[fading vigil]

I was spoiled too, so I just avoid any convos about s10 🙁

[past karma]

I do wonder if we can solve the entirety of Fangwai map before S10 :^)

[silk merlin]

tell me what we know! ive been too busy to delve into the smaller EE's 😅

or is there a thread for it

found it! reading through now

[past karma]

Great! Not much was found, unfortunately... EE probably has something to do with dragons, and it's certainly related to the central red tower!

For anyone interested: #1448403604733034577

[signal sorrel]

Just to make sure I understand, we're sure there is an easter egg in that map?

[spark sigil]

hear me out. what if there's an easter egg in the new map

[surreal sinew]

there allways is but who knows with rob being gone

[spark sigil]

rob is cns this is all a conspiracy in the bigger picture of the story

[past karma]

Personally I am 100% sure there is a Fangwai EE - the leek map is enough of a confirmation for me

I also faintly remember someone from Embark mentioning Fang EE at least once, but I might be misremembering that, not sure

[crisp eagle]

Actually I don’t believe Fangwei has anything. Or at least anything we’ve found with real substance

[velvet narwhal]

The leek map overlays pretty well with fangwei like Weirdguy already said.

#easter-eggs message

[eternal violet]

#easter-eggs message this is even more obvious

[crisp eagle]

I mean on the map. I think that charm just “leaked” the map layout. Like the koi fish pointing to Kyoto

[velvet narwhal]

but there's a X on the map. imo it means that there's something special about the tower

[surreal sinew]

Ah damn

[crisp eagle]

Oh yea that’s a good point

[sharp flame]

wow there's no way we haven't solved that then

[eternal violet]

the problem is you cant enter that building

[crisp eagle]

Or maybe we can…

[surreal sinew]

tru

[signal sorrel]

The waiting... It pains us

[hard current]

No way did we ever investigate this?

[royal geyser]

WAS THAT THE AI ITSELF HOLDING THE WORLD?

[sharp flame]

"an unknown force" hmmmmmmmmm

I don't think this counts as an easter egg seeing as how visible it is but there might be a little addition in the background 😭

[fresh quiver]

Dead dragon 🙁

Codex of Exile Transcript

To dissolve the boundary between
maker and made,
To cast self into signal and dwell
within echo,
No blood is needed.
Only belief.
Where waking ends,
Another land waits,
Corridors without walls,
Halls that breathe like sleeping
lungs.
Step softly.
The dream is already listening.

wait is that a tablet skin, A SPELLBOOOK?

[white patrol]

YES my favorite thing in this BP

[signal sorrel]

The heck is a discord quest? Sorry to ask this here

[velvet narwhal]

go to your private messages. there should be a quests section

[heady nest]

I don't see one for The Finals

Echo you say...
https://youtu.be/7-XLR5NAiP0?t=7

[white patrol]

yeah I was wondering what "dream" "echo"'s connection to CNS

[charred pasture]

I kinda want to say “Kraken” but i dont think thats correct

[rare rune]

It's got to be CNS

To dissolve the boundary between:

• Dematerializer "dissolves" walls
  To cast self into signal and dwell within echo:
• Bloom Uplink CNS sponsor card bg: "Not listed. Not tracked. Brought to you by a ghost signal."
• "We are the echo, true and free."
  No blood is needed, only belief.:
• "See the signs"
  Where waking ends, another land waits:
• "But their croak isn't lost, just caught in a dream.
• Various s7 cosmetics featuring dream in Japanese, "Dreamlocked" card bg.

• They'll be back soon.

engraving, reminds me of vault hunter stuff

8 swords, 5 on the left, 4 on the right. 8 roman numeral at the top. And ofc the description

[gleaming robin]

There are a lot of new skins in the trailer, I think most of them are in the battle pass

There was also a scene where after the kill of Riot Shield they show tributes.

[open sun]

Holy shit they're actually covering story and lore stuff so far on the live stream

[vagrant mauve]

hmm there's a lot in the BP that seems suspect. I only sent the things that I think have direct EE potential, but there's a lot of references to themes like "the boundary flickering" and "all paths lead upwards" or "searching for answers the arena simply happens to be built around"

I think maybe we have an EE on the new map where we go OOB

[gleaming robin]

I didn't notice anything, but maybe there is something there.

[ornate sapphire]

I presume EE hunters going crazy with the narrative team speaking on stream

CNS and MultiCO have a new Rival! they are calling it the Third Force

[open sun]

So going by what the devs said the narrative is actually evolving into a new direction, where a mysterious third force (other than MultiCo and CNS) with its own motivations will be in play.

Apparently they are what is responsible for S10 having magic & fantasy elements to it, as opposed to the straight medieval theme Alfa Acta and MultiCo had planned.

Presumably this third force is the sentient Finals AI itself, as seen in the opening for the S10 trailer.

[gleaming robin]

The skin for the CB-01 is a clarinet.

played it

[sharp flame]

yeah this Third Force is looking more and more likely to be Ex-Finals developer (from Pre-MultiCo or early MultiCo)

[crisp eagle]

Maybe Rob was CNS and Plume is Fantasy Team

She seems like a big fantasy nerd. And I’m here for it

new map condition!? maybe a dragon comes and burns it down?

Starting May 7th

[charred pasture]

Last season was named “Dragon Rising” iirc

Maybe that has a connection? I might just be throwing a red herring

Im not sure if thats valid, arent the last number string always 4 numbers?

I.e. 123-123-1234?

my guess is the Third Force is leaking out private conversations from the CEOs

@harsh violet Not strictly easter egg related, but it needs to be said that these new dev diaries are very, very appreciated. I genuinely adore getting interesting behind the scenes looks, and this level of transparency helps engender so much trust within the community as well (same goes for finally getting a roadmap btw!)

It's also great having faces to attach to some of y'all, makes things feel way more personal than mere social media updates would ever allow for

can we get someone to record all these so we can catalog them?

this what our third one or fourth?

i dont mind paying, im going to find enjoyment in it. on the other hand it supports embark. cns and (now) medieval are seriously some of the top additions the finals can have

yes, please

this 24 hour stream is awesome

The radio frequency shifts from 84.6 to 103.7 after the news report, might be relevant to keep in mind for future clues

dead dragon

[dull meadow]

start looking at the stats from any serries with dragons and its insane how big the one in Kyoto is

[opal pond]

The one around the mountain of bernal is pretty big too

Maybe same size but most of it is behind the mountain

[charred pasture]

gonna point out once again that the last season was named “Dragon Rising”

Probably just coincidence

[dull meadow]

With Embark, no shot lol

[charred pasture]

As in “that is 100% connected” or as in “thats for sure coincidental”

[dull meadow]

maybe not connected but there is no way we had Dragon rising and now have dead ones only by accident. coould just be a play on the seasons

[snow walrus]

Twitch drop item and barbra str 🤔 ?

I will read the item description tomorrow

[sharp flame]

Has someone had a go at reading through the Battle Pass descriptions?

[south wyvern]

Ahh a tarot again. Sounds like it's CNS all over again, "Open Your Eyes" "Look Beyond the walls"

[vagrant mauve]

CNS'nt

The lore video they revealed today confirmed there's a third "force" on The Finals

[south wyvern]

this may sound brutal and according to eight of swords reversed, maybe Rob hinting us to be open to new perspectives.

[sharp flame]

Every time the Battle Pass descriptions use the first person, "I", the original creator of the Finals is speaking to us. The "Third Force". Not even kidding. :)

About to go to bed but the evidence for that can be found in:

1. The devlog - MultiCo BOUGHT THE FINALS from the original creator. The original creator is a "he" and is that Third Force. His intentions are to shape the show into his own image. He doesn't want to disrupt, like CNS. He wants to alter it to steer it to his own vision. The fact that the medieval map already existed, it was just "transformed" by this mystery man.
2. The BP descriptions. "He" made THE FINALS. MultiCo wrote over most of it, but "he" still remains.
3. The S10 lore video. This person clearly knows their way around Finals code, and Marcel said this: "He always did prefer doing things his way."

BP Descriptions to make it clear:

"A world I built to escape the noise" - he refers to THE FINALS, which he made as an escape from this dystopian world.

"What lingers is where I dream. What lingers is where I build." - he refers to what remains of THE FINALS after MultiCo basically trampled it with corporate sponsorships and sanitization. He can realise his visions through the BASE FINALS CODE which he wrote, so he has access to it. He builds his vision (his dream) in that residual code that he originally wrote and MultiCo bought.

[unkempt dune]

The Grand Major, Odilia, and Ursa: https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx0jKic4eQQa34L2qlpl2svvQ6mZjPa5wN

[sharp flame]

"To cast flesh into light, and bind thought to endless halls. The ritual requires no blood. Only belief."
.

maker and made,
To cast self into signal and dwell
within echo,
No blood is needed. 
Only belief.
Where waking ends,
Another land waits,
Corridors without walls, 
Halls that breathe like sleeping
lungs.
Step softly.
The dream is already listening.```

This one is super interesting. It describes a process, a ritual, where you can almost transfer consciousness into the system. 
It describes the system as a structure made of "living corridors", and "halls".
"To dissolve the boundary between maker and made" sounds like it's specifically talking about the Finals' Maker, who uses this process to "dream" to rewrite code by **living/dreaming in the system**

It also describes the system as sentient, as it listens. Probably referring to the Finals AI.

I'm going to summarize the Velare pages as they are a contained story. Velare had a loved one who died after a massive fire/explosion caused a "Shutdown". Velare is a contestant, and also a vigilante looking for truth, he doesn't care about fame or riches. He plays to learn more about the sponsors and the world. What will he do when he finds out what he wants to know? To take revenge? Who knows.

this one refers to the original creator of THE FINALS stepping in, gaining power, and transforming the gameshow.

"A new power descends (the original creator). Control ascends (he gains control). Transformation begins."

"I wrote myself into the margins when they took the rest of the page." - he refers to him literally writing code which lets him retain control after he sold it to MultiCo. He probably let things play out for the first 9 Seasons until he finally decided to step in and use his backdoor. However, "Margin of a Dream" is quite telling. There are many references to him "dreaming". Did he literally write his CONSCIOUSNESS into the code?

[grand bobcat]

WD Legions had the concept of uploading people's brain to computers (For example to use them as AI for self-driving cars or whatever else they were good at). Seeing that concept, I wonder if the original creator of The Finals lives within the AI itself.

[sharp flame]

basically hit it on the head, haha glad we came to the same conclusion

[grand bobcat]

In WD Legions, you can also still see remains of the people's original "personality" if you will. Similar here we see the AI taking control on its own.

[sharp flame]

"OBSERVER OF ORDER" - refers to Him (watching MultiCo?)

"They believe the cage is theirs. They forget who wrote the bars." - This one is pretty straightforward. "They" is MultiCo, believing they're in control of the system. "He" wrote the bars. He wrote the system. He made THE FINALS' framework.

[unkempt dune]

Odilia used to run a heavy build? 🤣

[sharp flame]

I wonder if she still wore the ballerina. 🤣 On a more topical note, this does confirm that the game plays exactly as it does for us as it does for them. In-lore, they can swap builds and loadouts as they wish.

"OBSERVER OF RUIN" - refers to Him (watching CNS?)

[rare rune]

Is he a part of the Third Force?

[sharp flame]

"They pull at the threads and call it freedom. They do not see what unravels." - This one is also kinda straightforward. If Order = MultiCo, Ruin = CNS. "They" (being CNS) pull at the threads and call it freedom. He opposes CNS' destruction/disruption. He believes CNS is undoing a great thing (which is THE FINALS).

[sharp flame]

#easter-eggs message I covered that one here. He's just a lone wolf looking for answers, based on the descriptions! (I think)

"SLUMBERWAKE" "The moment between sleep and something deeper" another dream reference

[fading vigil]

I have a strong feeling about mid season breach or shift in sponsors

[sharp flame]

Okay. "They carry weapons. I carry worlds", a bit of a God complex, but has literally created the world.

[rare rune]

likewise.

I still think we could see CNS showing up midseason to shake it up

[grand bobcat]

Not sure if it will be CNS but I'd love it

[fading vigil]

In previous season, you could see BP weapon skin in weapons skin menu. Now there isn’t. Sus

[sharp flame]

"I lift. You linger." This is on the Wizard page. Is He self-inserting as the Wizard?

if "They" is MultiCo and the original creator is bringing the magic, then this makes sense

[rare rune]

I wonder why the third force seems so similar to CNS when it comes to the dreaming stuff

That book skin's text seems to fit CNS very well, but if it's the Third Force then idk

[fading vigil]

Cns can be a part of bigger resistance

[sharp flame]

Battle Pass analysis done! Sorry that took so long. I hope a few of you can read through it.

[hybrid relic]

maybe the biggest "we know" moment, but I found this to be kinda insane.

im just tryna tie finals and arc together (still)

[rare rune]

Especially since the book is purple which was CNS' color for S7

[rare rune]

I mean that's just Europe. Nothing seems to be happening in Italy

I wonder if the showdown happening in Poland is related to that one easter egg photo. Something connected to Marcel?

[sharp flame]

I think what connects them is the system that the Finals runs in. It's like its own universe, and you have to "dream" your way inside it to manipulate it. Both the Finals' Original Creator and CNS have figured out how to do it.

MultiCo can basically only code their way around. These guys live in the system.

[rare rune]

Truee

Still, the purples intrigue me. Especially since the store team also has it

[hybrid relic]

i get that, other than arc raiders taking place in italy.. nothing, yeah.

[sharp flame]

For sure. They absolutely cooked with the lore this time round. I hope I can tell more people about my findings.

[sharp flame]

as people noticed, the Sea Level has risen many metres. this lines up with ecological collapse. If you wanted to connect that to ARC, you could, but ARC's ecological collapse would have been wayy more underway by now.

[hybrid relic]

ik they found the real arc map also on google, but what if it's supposed to be depicting a dried up ocean and that location just suited it?

[hybrid relic]

okay good point 👏 I agree

now hear me out, just one finals stretch of the imagination :
Giant Arc Probes siphoned most of the Sea after the tides had risen 🤨
(I want it to be real but if it's never revealed, or I'm totally wrong. so be it )

pun not intended but i typo'd it into existence...

[rare rune]

ngl I still don't think both of these worlds are connected

[crisp eagle]

That’s what I thought too. “Ghost in the machine.” But I get the feeling he’s fully in the system now and not physical anymore

[fading vigil]

Is the finals is something more than just a show? Is it a VR world or the show only?

[sharp flame]

Battle Pass breakdown TLDR:
The Finals' original creator is the Third Force. He created the system, and wrote it from the ground up. He sold THE FINALS to MultiCo, but gave himself a "way in" so that he could change things if he still wanted to.
He's been watching MultiCo and CNS battle, and he opposes BOTH sides. He finally used his backdoor, to step in and change the gameshow back towards his vision.

[sharp flame]

Hard to say. But a brilliant question to ask right now. In the S3 trailer and others, we saw "contestants" doing completely mundane things, like hanging out, or chilling, and they were dragged into the Cashout gameshow.

[rare rune]

I think there's a general VR world and Finals is the most famous activity there

At the end of the day not everyone can compete, so some people just chill in VR to escape

[sharp flame]

See, that would make sense, but so many of the "system" talk snippets focuses on the Finals' original creator. So how much of this VR world did HE build?

It makes it sound like he created the whole VR world.

[crisp eagle]

Maybe he made it all, and TF was his favorite work

[rare rune]

Could be

[sharp flame]

That makes TOTAL sense!

[rare rune]

I'm very interested what will happen with both MultiCo and CNS pushing back (though idk if Marcel will push back, he seems to like the drama)

[crisp eagle]

So we’ve got James Halliday

[sharp flame]

James Halliday but lives in the system - WAIT HE DID

[grand bobcat]

Marcel only cares for two things: Viewernumbers and revenue

[fading vigil]

That’s why I’m asking: I interpret meatspace is closer to pre-arc stance, and the VR space, where the world still “nice”, and have the finals show, or for what we have all the decorations oob? And tribunes? If it was just a show, isn’t it be simplistic to make “drones” or other spectator modes for viewers?

[crisp eagle]

That’s what it’s feeling like. Well Halliday died but made an AI of himself. In the book at least. I wonder if this guy sold to Multico, but then straight up moved his consciousness into it first

[rare rune]

It seems he wrote himself in around the sell time

[hybrid relic]

it's the dystopia outside of the VR games that makes me see connections..
a world is pillaged by mega corps , people sign their brains over and nothing but consuming matters.

perfect setup for an "exodus".

I respect you and your take, regardless. thanks for entertaining my schizophrenic game theory.

[grand bobcat]

Definitely think so yes. Brain upload.

[sharp flame]

yeah, but that could go either way, he wrote himself backdoor access, through the "dream state", or he literally transferred consciousness

we don't have definitive evidence YET that he ended himself in the meatspace. Could be a copy.

[rare rune]

🤔

[sharp flame]

WAITTTTTT

[crisp eagle]

Yea so either he’s fully in the system, or he’s chilling somewhere like Mr. House in Fallout

[rare rune]

Also S10 being the season when S7 becomes legacy 🤔

[grand bobcat]

Yeaaa would make a lot of sense.

[open sun]

I like where this is going

[rare rune]

I wonder if he's been in "slumber, or something deeper" all this time up until CNS wrote themselves in in/around S7

[crisp eagle]

Shoot maybe everyone is just plugged in like Mr. House and the meatspace “died”

[sharp flame]

this one also makes a lot of sense now. "Old Code", the system was built a long time ago.

[rare rune]

Maybe CNS discovering how to get inside the system (and I'm pretty sure they're still inside, MultiCo didn't kick them out) woke him up

[crisp eagle]

Bootleg root. An illegal copy of the original code?

His back door

[open sun]

Would be a clever way to still add a second sponsor track this season too

[sharp flame]

and this one too (he's still in there)

[grand bobcat]

BUT during S2 they also talked about how "The AI can take us anywhere" "The AI won't allow the reset" yada yada... so clearly they know its doing its own thing then already

[rare rune]

The question if it was AI or him, definitel hard to say for now

[grand bobcat]

To me they are the same thing (for now)

[crisp eagle]

Maybe CNS and him do sort of get along. Remember Marcel a few seasons back mentioning how some doors are left unlocked on purpose and then we got CNS as a “sponsor”

[rare rune]

Maybe that was the purpose 🤔

[hybrid relic]

death / reuploaded himself

perhaps failed to sync ? essentailly a simulacrum in the meatspace ?

[fading vigil]

CNS can be just anarchy activists, who rebel megacorps.
The third hand - can be the architecture of the vr space itself, who created it for chilling and dreaming, not like an another money centric project (repeating ready player one story)

[hybrid relic]

wasn't s7 the season when we heard about that

[sharp flame]

Scotty and June might not know everything. "We built that thing". They believe that MultiCo built THE FINALS AI. But is it true?

[rare rune]

Okay yeah, I think AI is the Creator himself.

https://youtu.be/Fe-W1J4U6k0?t=133

There has to be a reason why Scotty's words are censored here

[grand bobcat]

Thats the lore snippet I meant yes!

[rare rune]

The Finals is loreing!!!

Oh wait, MultiCo's version, CNS' version, and finally maybe the backdoor version of the creator

[fading vigil]

And in the video, edited season was a phrase “He likes to do things his own way”, iirc
Not “Them”, as cns is a group.

[sharp flame]

no i didn't nevermind

[rare rune]

And all of that fits nicely into that "rule of three" we've seen with many things

3 classes, 3 contestants (mostly), 3 sponsors per season (up until s7 when cns shook the scene) now three sides of the struggle

[open sun]

Did potential references to this specific entity start only in S7?

Because if so it would be likely that CNS' breaches are what resulted in this entity awakening in the first place

[rare rune]

Pretty sure

[sharp flame]

The name of the AI might be important, but they think that MultiCo "built" it so they clearly don't know what it is

[fading vigil]

Guys!
1 2 3

[grand bobcat]

As far as we saw in the Alfa Acta Website EE video, the process signature was called "VEIN"

[sharp flame]

Virtual Entity Intelligence Network? I think that identifies Virtual Entities. It's the checker system. That was the system that "identified" the rogue process

[fading vigil]

Cns love Asian motives
We had Asia from art
Multico can be either Europe or USA
And the third hand, more likely to be Europe, hence medieval theme is more Europe thing, imo

[sharp flame]

Ah, tying it to Level 3? Nice.

[sharp flame]

Alright, I think The Creator is a really nice name for the guy. Shall we stick with that? I'm going to bed but I'm super glad lore is picking up

[rare rune]

I'd say so personally

[grand bobcat]

All this time I was wondering: Would this have been better in the literal lore channel ^^"

[rare rune]

Probably lol

[fading vigil]

Architector?

[rare rune]

John Finals

[sharp flame]

I already basically spun that story dw

[sharp flame]

most EE hunters are lore hounds, but we just haven't had anything to really latch onto. the two topics overlap a lot! hard to tell when a hidden detail is "lore" vs "easter egg", or both!

this BP is very clearly super lore heavy, and has hidden clues which are basically easter eggs too

[rare rune]

I'm not the only one hearing a bell in the practice range upon joining, right?

[past karma]

To the best of my abilities

Nearest somewhat large cities to the points:

1. Montauban
2. Lyon
3. Schaffhausen (???)
4. Nuremberg
5. Łódź (???)

Serves nothing, but it's quite interesting just to see this.
But also, what does moving along the map represents for the finals? It's not like contestants are physically going somewhere. Satellite positions? Responsible servers locations? A meatspace location for tournament broadcasting (not like they are digitally showing it to the whole world anyways...)

[blazing nexus]

Last know references to Poland was a hidden address to Częstochowa in the multico files

OMG wait it’s all coming together, multico having a big part this season and Poland being on a world tour stop

#1244010150420021340 message

[rare rune]

Would be pretty fun

[blazing nexus]

Last world tour stop too? Right before a new season starts?

[rare rune]

S11 new map - boat city 😂

[open sun]

Seems like a fitting name for an original creator of the show, and you make a good case for them being the third force / the AI entity through mind-uploading as well.

At the same time, I'd prefer to avoid tying the "Creator" title to the AI entity until we've got hard confirmation on these being the same. Mainly to avoid a situation where we end up with Redditors and Youtubers referring to the AI as "The Creator" as if it were definitive fact already, similar to theories like AR and TF being set in the same universe being presented as fact

[normal rapids]

Dont do that, Its already destroyed

[gleaming robin]

Changes to old maps are spoilers for limited-time modes.

This has happened before, as far as I remember

The shotgun on page 8 of iseul-t has a glow like the space ball in the season trailer.

and the description of this shotgun is mysterious

I can't send it in English, my game is in Russian.

I understand that it's probably just 3d, like the reality we perceive, but maybe there's some kind of subtext there.

and it also seems to me that the skin from the set for money may be related to a future LTM.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4406660/THE_FINALS__Morrgans_Call_Set/
There is literally a burning village in the trailer of her skin.

where can I get a video with a presentation of this skin? I've seen her in the game, but there's nothing on the finals channel.

[surreal sinew]

also barbra the breach drill

[surreal sinew]

woah sick

[surreal sinew]

but also bars is for music so its a song that tells a story and we are mearly puppets on a stage performing

[surreal sinew]

or hell maybe the new map expands and grows to a cashout map

[surreal sinew]

i loved it so many good ideas

[surreal sinew]

its not a fully heroic fellowship maybe thats what cns refers to themselves as since they are mostly heroic not letting the finals become something bad but its still causing chaos

[surreal sinew]

uhhhh whos james halliday im either really dumb, forgot or [hold one sec lemme send a thing]

[crisp eagle]

He’s the creator of the VR world in the book/movie “Ready Player One.”

[surreal sinew]

but he never wanted sponsors in the firstplace right?

[surreal sinew]

oh yeah ready player one (i watched it a long time ago but i dont watch many movies)

[open sun]

Let me rephrase: if CNS returned in the narrative this season, it would be clever from an out-of-universe perspective for that to coincide with a second tier sponsorship track to be added for CNS

[surreal sinew]

i think i understand what you mean

[snow walrus]

coincidence?

[wise dirge]

has the Bell from the new Battlepass Level 33 already been acknowledged ?
The Text and the 737 or maybe 131 scratched into it?

[unkempt dune]

I don't believe anyone has discussed it yet

[wise dirge]

Im playing in german so maybe some meaning gets lost in translation but the text is referring to:

• some woman that bell once belonged to
• that it was retrieved after the shutdown out of the ashes
• the engraving was added later"

On the bell there is a 737 or maybe a 131 visible scratched in on the lower half
and the upper half has 4 stars (could be just to fit the jester theme)

Does someone know what it means? and is it more lore related or more likely to be an easteregg?

#easter-eggs message

the clips are messed up though and I think it could be due to the length of the stream

[naive kernel]

Yeah not that one

Let me see if I can try sort out some highlights on Twitch

[unkempt dune]

don't worry, I got it covered

I'll just download sections of the video and cut them into clips

I hope they put all of that in a video of some sorts

[boreal sleet]

Anyone know what is this ? "vossler knows" https://www.reddit.com/r/thefinals/comments/1s52jcl/vossler_knows_on_new_weapon_skin/

[unkempt dune]

Damien Vossler is the CEO of Dissun https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Damien_Vossler

it's probably related to the "Fool Me Twice" on the skins itself

which could be referring to this part of the Three Perfect Frogs lore video https://youtu.be/yBM4bpdJjfw?&t=32

although if the carving is presumed to be by the 3rd party, then it might not be referring to that video since Three Perfect Frogs was done by CNS (2nd party)

at the very least it can be assumed that Vossler is being called a liar in some shape or form

[crisp eagle]

Yea it sounds insulting to Vossler. Like the saying “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Might be saying Vossler knows because he should feel “shame on me.”

[stone grotto]

On end of stream the lore video, i cant post videos

[indigo aspen]

So do we have any info on who will handle easter eggs since rob is gone

Oh wait he's still in this server

[lusty marlin]

I have a genuine question, why is this and what is happening with rob, what did I miss=)?
https://imgur.com/a/RSt7X9u

[indigo aspen]

A certain streamer made some accusations

Embark did an investigation and found them to be false

They decided to part ways to not harm the reputation of the company

[lusty marlin]

alr

[indigo aspen]

It's a shame

[lusty marlin]

then this is a good question

[indigo aspen]

But I'm glad that he's still here

[lusty marlin]

Imma still look for ee's, I just wonder who's gonna manage them, maybe still him even?

Where can I see the lore stuff we got this season? The videos linked further up are all dead for me

seeing as nobody has really uploaded them, I'll go ahead

[signal sorrel]

Thanks! You're a star.

[unkempt dune]

don't worry, I'm about to finish up here in a second

if you're talking about the videos

I'm in the middle of doing transcriptions

[sharp flame]

yeah, 1080p60fps would be massive

if you can get them natively I can maybe help get them posted on Reddit/Twitter through some Finals news accounts

[unkempt dune]

they might be too big for discord

I have the 1080 versions

[sharp flame]

yeah, you'd have to zip them or email them or something

[unkempt dune]

the stream was done at 30fps, so that's the best I have for framerate

[harsh violet]

Those videos will likely get posted on our social media at some point

Season 10 Launch Stream Clips

I believe that's all of them

[sharp flame]

aha, a weird ending, but the lore implications are interesting!

[unkempt dune]

the dates are still confusing me

why would we get a single from 2102 and then these radio broadcasts from 2081?

[full plinth]

Cuz in game we are on 2102 and for the radio broadcast, im not sure so i will not affirm that fact

[empty plaza]

I had forgotten about the tickets for the arcade machines. If we hadn't found the tree one, I'd have just found it naturally LOL

[past karma]

Arcade tickets were all solved until level three (12 in total), manhole covers included
You can check #1381733504718606496 pinned message to see the list of all tickets found :)

The confetti worms?

[snow walrus]

yes

[rugged breach]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Probably, but can't say for certain

[sharp flame]

by the way, only just found your question

we know that Odilia vs Ursa happened in the past, before MultiCo even bought THE FINALS

the Early Talent Program was pre-FINALS-buyout. That's why in the broadcast, they were asking why MultiCo wanted to even dip into Competitive gaming

[empty plaza]

Hmm...
This feels like something, my TFEE senses are tingling

[sharp flame]

now I'm not sure why the specific year was chosen, but it might have been an important year, the year that Odilia beat Ursa, and something big happened

we know the Early Talent Program was shut down, this was probably why

[unkempt dune]

Well VIII is for Strength and you've got 5 swords and 3 swords... V + III = VIII.

[sharp flame]

there are 8s all over the spellbook too

[sharp flame]

reposting this Tarot, with swords specifically

it highly resembles the VIII we see

[signal sorrel]

Yeah, and that text about being surrounded lines up pretty well too

[sharp flame]

"If only she could take the blindfold off, she would see that she could simply just walk out of this situation."

[sharp flame]

the "I'm" refers to the Finals Creator, the Third Force. I wonder if this also refers to him being trapped inside the game

"surrounded by walls" like the labyrinth that this system is described as in the lore

[signal sorrel]

"I wrote myself into the margins while they took the rest of the page."

The description for the shoulder owls definitely lines up with this

[lyric stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-insane-cat-meme-insanity-losing-grip-gif-2901353152573298214

[signal sorrel]

Especially with them being Observer of Order and Observer of Ruin, it's clearly talking about MultiCo and CNS

[sharp flame]

ha yeah! I came to the same conclusion

it's super interesting to have these 3 factions now.

• MultiCo, who want control + sponsor integration,
• CNS, who want people to break free, and break the simulation and reshape it,
• Third Force (the Creator), who wants to preserve the simulation, and make the gameshow even more immersive, stripping away the sponsors, and making it into his vision, a true escape from the real world.

[signal sorrel]

Guys what about the bell?

Polished Proof has 737 scratched into it

[latent matrix]

cat meow

[sharp flame]

the asteroid 737 Arequipa is the only thing I can really find

[signal sorrel]

It's probably nothing, but the Dissun sponsor track has a helmet that says "Rumor has it the method used to create this mask is a closely guarded secret, known only to Damien Vossler and his inner circle at DISSUN."

What with "Vossler knows" just thought it was interesting

[signal sorrel]

Do you all think there's anything worth examining on the Astral Concord tattoo in the shop? I feel like there's something with the sun/moon in a bottle on the upper back of the tattoo, and whatever is going on with the 7 pointed star on the front

That and in the Morrigan set, the charm is called Sevenfold Omen

The symbol on the leg at the bottom is the Greek symbol for Poseidon

Sorry not to spam more but I think there's something to this

I found it... Last post, I swear. Seems telling that it's almost identical except for one part, the part pointing down to corpus, or the body

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/k-FxKgYfMPo

we are so back

there must be an easter egg in this video. right? right?....

[opal pond]

In the s10 trailer the dissun contestant also changes to the jester, along with the bow. I assume this was referencing the message on that skin?

[opal pond]

When the light (forest elf, forest fire ?) gets shot in the trailer the jester immediately goes for the revive, I’m probably thinking too deep into this, but could it mean Dissun is covering up if someone died there?

(IF it’s related with the radio broadcast)

[signal sorrel]

That Dissun broadcast seemed super sketchy anyways, the flames reached a mile in the air and the kids were blasted into the water but survived?

[sly latch]

The item description say "The most elegant manner to pass a message"

Also Velare skin (the jester) is about searching responses in it s description

[rain dune]

In the season 10 launch trailer the main character's player number is 67 (l o l e) and the main villain's number is 76, reversed of the main hero. However, at 0:02 the main hero's number is 32. When the villain and his goons are first introduced at 0:32 ALL the bad guy's numbers are 32 including the main villain but they change to different numbers throughout the trailer. At 0:45 it cuts to the crowd and at least one of their number's is 32. At 1:06 the elf archer's number changes from 42 to 32. At the final battle, the monk's contestant number changes from 54 to 32, the dual blades ninja changes from 24 to 32. The only character's number that never changes and isn't 32, from what I can tell, is the jester's who's number is 13. At 1:36 the wizard spawns in with the new monk spear skin and the full spear is visible for 32 frames (48 if you include the frames where it is loading in). In the next shot the wizard is now holding a deafault Shak-50. Every other character in the trailer (after the swap to the new season) is wielding a medieval weapon or high fantasy skin but only the wizard is holding a modern weapon. And you'll never guess his contestant number is... 32.

[signal sorrel]

The numbers, what do they mean?!

[rain dune]

"It's all we ever wanted" Idk, I'm not a EE hunter, I am just a spear player who wanted to count all the frames spear, a medieval weapon, was in the new trailer for the medieval season. Then I noticed the continuity errors and realised that 32 kept coming up. It was then I realised that I should probably pass this info to the EE hunt disc in case they wanted to know/ it was useful info.

[opal pond]

There's some easter eggs on nozomi

Probably for the easter event but they're only in this area

[ruby nymph]

anybody see this yet in fangwhei city
ospuze kraken

[opal pond]

Yes! For season 10 they added some fantasy elements to some of the maps

Kyoto has a big skeleton of a dragon, both bernal and las vegas have sleeping dragons in the distance too

And monaco has a flying castle in the back

[fading vigil]

Was it there or it just appeared:
the tornado effect on the nozomi? On top of a red head?)

[safe falcon]

Never contributed and only know the basics of the on ongoing egghunt, but surely there's something there in this bit with the new skin we got? Scotty's teammate? The little article must have something to do with it... maybe we'll get more when they release a new tm?

[dusk raptor]

Was there these huge piles of coins and gems before in Las Vegas or it comes with the dragon.

[cold heart]

noticed this too, before the blocks used to just fly upwards
now it spins like crazy

[opal pond]

Its new for this season

[snow walrus]

BP page 5 and 6 seem definitely interesting

[gleaming robin]

[unkempt crypt]

I also have an easter egg unrelated to TF though..

[solid verge]

That's a nice easter egg

[hasty light]

More than likely isn't related to anything, but I noticed there's a dragon skeleton on the outskirts of Starlight Hollow. Thought it was cool! I think I saw one in Kyoto's skybox as well

they just reuploaded em to the channel

[silk merlin]

WE HAVE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED

WHOOOO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyYxlkzXhHA

looks like the finals' ai (or VEIN) is making a big return

[opal pond]

Velare's voice has some interesting voice lines, 131 reasons to be here (in the arena)

[whole hare]

anybody easter egg hunting atm?

[rigid adder]

That’s her voice ?? Sounds very odd

[white patrol]

you can ask in #1217498821563514951 !

[opal pond]

Velare is the jester from the bp

[signal sorrel]

Ooooooh hey about the bell

What if it isn't 737, what if it's 131 and it's a call-back to 3 Frogs, where they specifically call out fuel technicians going missing at a Dissun facility in sector 131

So Velare would be here searching for secrets that may have cost "her" life, fits in with the 131 voice line

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/CNS#Three_Frogs_Vignette

[signal sorrel]

Well, I'm still shouting into the void I suppose, but I'm tempted to see if there isn't any unique interactions with the wizard staff emote on the new map. The description about the sky answering "if you know how to ask" feels... Ominous

[hasty light]

It appears to be crushed under a rock lol, poor guy

[vagrant mauve]

Likely not, no EEs are locked behind paid cosmetics. Altho paid cosmetics can help, I believe.

[vestal jasper]

more like the cosmetics flavor text is hinting to the lore, but you don't need to buy the cosmetics for the hint

It would be very counterintuitive as bp-exclusive cosmetics like Velare's won't return for a very long time once next season starts

[iron kayak]

Any updated with the rose EE?

[full plinth]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1203859365610922036

[signal sorrel]

One thing steering me towards it, Velare has some specific ping lines in game that make me wonder, someone else has a video about his "131 reasons to be here" and I feel like it really lines up with my post earlier. Doesn't mean you're wrong, but they're clearly hiding some clues behind the paywall.

[surreal sinew]

some heavy musta thrown it

[surreal sinew]

well we dont know its very wierd like is that just for the main hunt (and roses i think) cus we have a ee tied to the roulette lewis gun skin and it was a paid bp from season 1 and if u want it now its also paid

[velvet narwhal]

you don't need to own the skin. paid cosmetics can still have clues to EEs but you don't need to have them

[surreal sinew]

but rob said that we should do something with the skin around the machines

[velvet narwhal]

then he lied to you or in this message: #1211002564015824906 message

[surreal sinew]

it was on a twitch live stream idk what the clip was tho

[fading vigil]

Imo, you can get all needed clues for free, and some bonus clues or “shortcuts” with purchases. Or some funny interactions not strongly needed/related to the EE

[low escarp]

this sand patch always been there?

[surreal sinew]

huh i dont think so

thats odd maybe its related to the new season?

[fading vigil]

Jfyi, water can be on any map: I found water cooler in offices, so we can obtain water (sort of)

What if our roses NPK - is a NPC (c can be read as K, for obscurity)

[swift mulch]

It's my fav patch of grass in TF and I never seen it

[cunning hemlock]

were they hayballs there before maybe? now with them added to some maps. but id expect the hayball/piles to not necessarily need a different texture beneath tbh.
i also havent seen that sand there before

[ember monolith]

Does everyone know that Vaiya has a time machine?

[robust junco]

Anyone looking into the dragons skeleton? Or maybe the gold and jewels on last vegas? Maybe golden namatama hidden 👀

[brazen atlas]

i was actually looking through this and i couldnt find ANYTHING so my only guess is that its just there for the medievel theme of like dragons and gold

[robust junco]

Doubt it tbh

It's probably a hint some sorts to help us. Everything for a reason

[hybrid galleon]

In which mode there is dragon map

[robust junco]

Its on kyoto, its on bernal

And on last vegas

[quasi path]

Its referencing the upside down turning of the ball in the trailer right? 🙂

(Sound has been edited)

[dawn forge]

Vinals

[snow walrus]

Velare's day!

[open sun]

That's all I assumed it was a reference to, and figured maybe there could be a random EE clue hidden in there if someone looked hard enough at it

[quasi path]

Devs also kinda highlighted it in recent lore video, where they mentioned it as part of the key points.

We also seen these figures before in the Iseul-T trailers, in assume thats been mentioned though and I havent checked this channel recently

Its the same hand^ so these peeps do the flip in the s10 trailer / have some control in the finals

So Iseul-T

And alfaacta and Iseul-T are this seasons sponsors

Imo, (and sorry if this has been said already) this third force that has been dormant, are the beings/people we see inside the Iseul-T advert. Maybe theyre a physical manifestation of the Finals sentience?
They've returned as not only beings involved in transcending realities with virtual and real items, but now with the virtual space (and possibly meat space ?) and being manifested in the machine, have an ability to change it, like us in the universe or like... Agents or Programs in the Matrix.

Iseul-T accidentally created a "programme" (in the Matrix sense) when testing moving items between virtual and reality?

All these training dummies, did Iseul-T try and transfer some consciousness into one of them and it went wrong?

Did Iseul-T try and westworld the bots and it went wrong?

Like, im thinking, why are those things/beings/people in the iseult ad, and why are they stuck in the machine/have control over it. Did Iseul-T create them? On purpose? Etc etc

[fiery carbon]

I kinda wanted it to just be CNS and multi co

not whatever this third thing is

[crisp eagle]

Hope you find the EE I put in-game for you. Happy hunting

just making sure, has any of you tried out how the charm reacts? I figured there might be some easter eggs with this one

it doesn't accept upside down chars lol

i cant believe i got bamboozled by the embark team

[cunning hemlock]

the roles too, this is funny

[opal pond]

It looks a bit more orange than usual, but I have no clue what caused it

It might be based on cash amount actually? The more cash you / scoreboard position have the more it'll glow.

I was playing QC and we were at the lead with 10K in this game

[cunning hemlock]

i totally missed the flipped stuff mentioned earlier btw. i couldve sworn it was the right way around for a bit in between 2pm and now.

[silk merlin]

man i knew something didnt look right 😂 what in the world is going on

[crisp eagle]

[surreal sinew]

[zealous magnet]

there HAS to be an easter egg with this or the orb emote

[full plinth]

Probably, but we need to find it now...

[cunning hemlock]

well some of it is upside down and mirrored, some stuff is just mirrored, some is upside down i guess?

[cunning hemlock]

Also, I'll post this here even though I was trying to find more clues to something else. I also don't know if it's relevant or stuff.
The exit signs in the building on Sys Horizon, wherever there is one, are usually red, except for in the middle building where they are green.
But this might be design choice as the inside of that building is pink so maybe it would clash with the red.

[vestal jasper]

maybe this together with the Waveform Watcher from S2 BP could reveal some interesting map poi?

after all it was implied that the new season was supposed to be medieval, but someone or something decided to add fantasy elements out of nowhere

so lore tidbits would probably require delving into both magic and scifi?

[cunning hemlock]

And the exit doors on Sys also have a light appearing around it when you get close enough to it. All of them, from the looks of it.

[gleaming robin]

Have you noticed any new background noise on Nozomi Citadel?

I think I heard some kind of howling noise in the background. Maybe it's from the hurricane in the sky?
